Television In The Third Dimension
12:00PM Nick Broughall | The human body is a marvellous thing. The very fact that we have two eyes means that we view everything in three dimensions, a talent that cannot be overstated. However, for years, television engineers have been trying to develop ways that we can trick our brains into thinking that we can see a three dimensional image from a two-dimensional screen. And now it’s the Next Big Thing in TVs. More »

Weekend Gadgets: The Tattoo Hero And His Audio Cables
4:38PM Nick Broughall | Last week, while watching an extremely disappointing movie on Blu-ray which won’t be named for fear of inadvertantly promoting it, my receiver switched off on its own, naturally at the film’s climax. At first I thought it had just overheated, but after a bit of playing around, I discovered that one or more of the speaker cables had short circuited. So my weekend will be spent replacing those cables – Joy! Oh, I’ll also be playing with the new HTC Tattoo and HTC Hero Android phones. More » 
Join The Giz AU Wave
3:41PM Nick Broughall | So I’ve been playing around with Google Wave for a while, and despite being on a few waves, have yet to find a really practical use for it. Until now – I want to use Wave as a way of chatting with you guys in real time – in particular as a way of getting feedback on the site. More » Tethering Coming To Telstra iPhones
2:19PM Nick Broughall | As picked up by David Flynn at APC, Telstra CEO David Thodey has responded to a comment on the Telstra Exchange blog to announce that the company is “working with Apple to enable tethering on the iPhone”, although he can’t reveal any specific dates. It’s kind of mind blowing that it hasn’t happened already, although I’m sure it’s what happens when you get two companies so focussed on doing things their own way that neither is willing to make the sacrifice necessary to bring this service to their customers.

100Hz: Saving LCDs From Motion Judder Since 2006
12:00PM Nick Broughall | LCD’s Achilles’ heel has always been its ability to show fast moving images. Watching sports or fast-paced action films on an early LCD screen was terrible, thanks to the technology’s inadequate refresh rate. But just like introducing LED backlighting helped LCD display blacks better and more vivid colours, the introduction of 100Hz technology went a long way to eliminating the motion judder caused by fast-moving pictures.

Asus Eee PC T91MT Appeases The Multitouch Faithful
10:00AM Nick Broughall | The original T91 from Asus wasn’t quite the touchscreen netbook we’d been hoping for thanks to the average tablet XP software and lack of multitouch. But Asus is never a company to sit on their hands, so they’ve updated the T91 to the T91MT, which adds Windows 7 and multitouch. More »

Review: Pioneer AVIC-F10BT In-Dash Satnav System
3:47PM Nick Broughall | Earlier this week, the guys at Pioneer let me drive around in one of their cars for a couple of days to test out the AVIC-F10BT in-dash satnav entertainment system. And now that I’ve tasted the supple delights of the AVIC, my own car’s stereo system seems old and tired, like a Hollywood starlet who’s let herself go. My satnav – once the pride and joy of my glovebox – now seems clunky and cumbersome. If I could, I’d take my car and the AVIC system to Vegas and get them hitched, because the simple fact is that they belong together. More »
